Keeping Up Internationally:Key is Professionalism

I find that there are three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field.  First, there is the consequence of realizing accountability that you have as a professional in the Early Childhood field to keep up with current programs and practices that are being used internationally.  By doing so, the professional can bring new and fresh ideas that are relevant to the field in his or her field.  Next, I find another consequence in learning about the early childhood field internationally is realizing the responsibility we have as professionals to the issues like poverty, quality in child care, and diversity.  When we can take into account the different backgrounds, the lack of money parents are working for to provide for his or her children and the type of educational programming that is being taught an early childcare center.   Finally, there is idea of what it means to be a professional.  Being a professional means learning to grow through knowledge, flexibility, and collaboration with other professional.  If I can promote one goal for the Early Childhood field would be professional development implemented in Early Childhood programs to collaborate with coworkers.  This way, professionals can grow and learn new ideas to teach children.
